Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) Regulates Skilled Nursing Facilities. Performs Surveys. Department of Health (DOH) DOH Health Systems Quality Assurance Division regulates and supports more than 404,000 health professionals in 83 health professions and 7,000 health groups and programs. This includes licensure of nursing home administrators. Board of Nursing Home Administrators Regulates Nursing Home Administrators through adopting minimum qualifications for licensure, approving the licensure examination, and assuring licensure requirements are met. Also has disciplinary authority over nursing home administrator licenses. 1
2 Board Membership Consists of four Nursing Home Administrators, four health care professionals or educators and one public member. Members serve a 5 year term and can serve two successive terms. Names and terms of current board members can be found on the DOH nursing home administrator web site. The board is required to have at least four meetings per year. These meetings are normally the first Friday in February, May, August and November. Anyone interested in applying to be a member of the board and do so on the Governor s web page.

3 Qualification of Licensees Baccalaureate degree is required by law. Can t be changed by the Board. The law requires the Board adopt a practical experience requirement. The Administrator in Training is a 1,500 hour program but can be reduced or exempted based on education and experience. NAB approved college programs exempt applicants from the AIT program. Eastern Washington University now has a program they are submitting for approval. Recognition of Out of State Licenses The law allows licensure of administrators who hold a license in another state if the standards for licensure in the other state is substantially equivalent to standards in Washington State. NHA standards greatly vary between the states. A list of substantially equivalent states and those that are not substantially equivalent is found in the application packet. 3
4 Continuing Education Administrators must have 36 hours of continuing education every two years. Renewal notices have your CE due date. Continuing education does not need approval but must meet requirements in WAC If audited, you must submit documentation that you have completed 36 hours that meet CE requirements.

This chart shows the growth in nursing home administrators complaints from 2009 through
13 RCW Nursing Home Administrator Law Intent The Legislature found: Quality patient care in nursing homes is directly related to competence of Nursing Home Administrators (NHA s.) The Legislature, therefore, adopted law to establish & enforce standards for NHA s, including maintaining: Suitable character Capacity to consider available resources/personnel and come to reasonable decisions to implement patient care. Nursing Home Administrators Need to Pay Attention Health care professionals who supervise other personnel can have action taken on their license if they do not properly supervise. License nursing home administrators may be more vulnerable to having disciplinary action against their license for the conduct of others because they are responsible for all staff in the nursing home. In summary, it is the boards responsibility to ensure that all complaints received are reviewed against the standard of practice of nursing home administrators as they provide quality care in a safe and clean environment. 13
